misal-e-mushk zaban se meri fasana gaya

ye kaun hai jo sar-e-rozgar aaya hai

dil ne meri nahin suni tauba

sahmi hai sham jagi hui raat in dinon

ai umr-e-naz tujhko guzare guzar na tha

markaz-e-harf takallum tha bayan tak na hua

shorish-e-harf hai ayagh mein kuchh

yaqin ki had ko ja pahuncha jo pahle tha guman apna

ba-waqt-e-sham umidon ka Dhal gaya suraj

yun sitam Dhae gae hain tere diwane par

mere wajud ki gahraiyon mein rahta hai

wo jo karte the baat baat ka gham
